“We worked with Kelsey after bringing home our new baby, when our dog Chewie was having a very difficult time adjusting. From the start, Kelsey was an exceptional listener. She asked thoughtful, detailed questions that helped her understand the full context of our situation, and even her new client form made it clear that she genuinely cares about both the dog and the family.

When we met, she came fully prepared with a customized folder of resources tailored specifically to our needs. As a Family Paws Educator, she brings a deep understanding of dog behavior in homes with babies and toddlers, which was invaluable to us.

What stood out most about working with Kelsey was her collaborative approach. Instead of simply telling us what to do, she made sure her recommendations were realistic, sustainable, and aligned with what we were capable of implementing. She truly met us where we were. On top of that, she was incredibly supportive and understanding throughout the entire process, and made it clear that she is available as an ongoing resource as our needs evolve.

I would highly recommend Kelsey to anyone looking to strengthen their relationship with their dog and feel supported every step of the way.”

“Kelsey is absolutely amazing! In just a few sessions she helped us go from chaos to calm without looking back. After working with several trainers, we were so happy to find someone who used effective and easy to follow methods that provided lasting results. Kelsey was easy to work with, extremely professional and dependable, as well as a great listener. We would highly recommend Kelsey!”

“Working with Kelsey has changed my life. As a client, I have appreciated her very consistent commitment to maintaining a well-structured yet flexible approach to helping me meet my goals.

A Wealth of Knowledge: When I first met Kelsey, what stood out the most was her wealth of knowledge that spanned across nutrition, environment, behavior, and energy. I immediately felt like she ‘got it’ when I would explain the challenges I was facing with my two young, anxious dogs. She never once overstepped and always met me where I was at.

Personalized Approach: I've been working with Kelsey since September of 2023. She has taken the time to get to know me and my dogs, carefully observing and then prescribing individualized recommendations based on what I share and what she notices herself.

Immediate Impact: The first thing we did was address nutrition, which immediately improved several areas in the quality of my dogs' lives. Then we uncovered some nervous behaviors that she is helping me address one at a time. I'm now able to loose leash walk my reactive dog, keep his attention while we pass something ‘scary,’ and have built a much stronger trust between us thanks to Kelsey's help.

Comprehensive Support: Kelsey provides so much more than coaching to her human and furry clients. She supports decisions, helps navigate hard situations, and is literally a call or text away for help in the moment. I've enjoyed all the time I get to spend with Kelsey and consider her not just a mentor, but a friend.

Personal Growth: Kelsey has taught me so much about myself through this process, too. It's a journey - one that I'm grateful to have Kelsey on my team for.”

“I love Kelsey’s business name.
I also think it should be Raise Good Dogs and their Humans. Truthfully, it should be the other way around.

Since Kelsey has educated the humans in our household, we are now able to anticipate and diffuse any unwanted behaviors from our dogs. This has been priceless to us, as the stress level in our house has gone way down and the enjoyment of our dogs, way up!

Kelsey shares her immense knowledge of dogs as a whole. We have learned so much about nutrition, implementing activities important to their physical and mental well-being and so much more. 

Her immense compassion for our feelings of overwhelm and her unbridled enthusiasm for the ‘wins’ we are achieving have made working with her such an incredibly positive, experience. We are forever indebted to Kelsey and the accomplishments we have made from working with her!”
